Did some tire shopping today and was quoted $125.00 mounted , balanced and out the door for 265/75/16 R "Wild Country TXR". Is that a fair price to you guy's? I have heard nothing but good things about these tires.My hobby is photographying Bear and I spend allot of time in the old minning areas.
My driving is about 60% off road on old minning and logging trails and it can get a little nerve racking from time to time but I do very little rock climbing. Mostly mud, sharp large sand stone and loose shale , Mike

You saw the other TXR post right?
Did not look up if you were the author of it, but these are great tires.

A word of advice.
Air 'em down to 15 to 18 lb, and the logging roads, rocks, ect will feel a lot better.

They handle very well aired down, and make those type of trails much more enjoyable.

Lets see some bear shots next time you go.

Don't know what you mean about the author of another post but I did a search and it seems that allot of people like this tire but I saw nothing on the price in the west or here in the east. That's what I was asking.
I'll post a pic of a sow and three cubs I got a few weeks ago but I don't want to get in trouble for posting here so I'll just do this one here. Mike

Corey, Here you go. This was taken at a local spring that never goes dry and stays cold all the time. You can see a blue lid that goes to a 5 gal. bucket. I'm guessing that someone came for water and saw the Bear in the area and left the bucket lay You can see how the Bear have this tree tore up. That's how they mark there territory, Mike

dang Mike! Ya got some big nads being that close to them bear and their young!

No way!,Lol. I set up my digital trail cam at spots like this. I was taking picks of a sow with a cub a few years ago from a tree stand the sow climbed my tree, snaped her teeth at me and tried to pull me out of the stand. After kicking her square in the nose she got down and ran off. That was enough for me . Now I use the trail cam, much safer
To get to these sites I have to travel some rough country and that's why I need some really good tires. Have tried allot of them over the years but never the Wild Country.Think I'll order them in the morning, Mike

Ah....ok...smart man!! I think the wild country's will do it for ya. My dad used to run them all the time. Myself I like the swampers...haven't saw any mud yet that I've had to use 4wd! I travel trout stream access roads here too where it gets a little sloppy sometimes
